Ingredients

• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large yellow bell pepper
• 1 large green bell pepper
• 1 medium red onion
• 1 medium zucchini
• 8 ounces mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 medium flour tortillas
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Slice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into thin strips. Peel and slice the red onion into thin slices. Slice the zucchini into thin rounds. Clean and slice the mushrooms into thin cuts.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the garlic cloves, minced, and saute for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 6

Add the sliced zucchini and mushrooms to the skillet. Pour the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables and add the spice mixture. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spices.

Step 7

Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all the vegetables are tender-crisp but not mushy.

Step 8

Add the lime juice and freshly chopped cilantro to the skillet. Stir everything well and remove from heat.

Step 9

Warm the flour tortillas either in the microwave for 30 seconds or in a pre-heated dry skillet for about 1 minute on each side until they are soft and pliable.

Step 10

Serve the vegetable mixture warm in the tortillas. Add extra lime wedges or salsa on the side if desired.
